Call of Duty WW2 could be upstaged at E3 2017 by Modern Warfare Remastered

Call of Duty WW2 is set to release later this year and in less than ten days time Sledgehammer Games will showcase even more of the game, with a full reveal of the games Multiplayer.

But even though all the attention is currently on this new World War 2 release, it's possible that the games spotlight could be stolen somewhat, by a surprise announcement for Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered.

Activision released Modern Warfare Remastered last year as part of a package deal together with Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.

Even now, fans of the game are only able to purchase is as part of the Legacy and Digital Deluxe editions, which is both a costly and unnecessary step for anyone wanting to relive the classic Call of Duty title on its own.

However, that could all be set to change, because Activision just can't seem to keep a lid on those leaks.

Just weeks after retailers acidentally let slip that Activision were launching Call of Duty Black Ops 3 Zombie Chronicles, more listings have started to pop up advertsising Modern Warfare Remastered as a standalone game - most recently on Amazon Japan.

Should these listings be true, then Activision plans to release the remastered CoD title just after E3 2017, with a June 20 release date currently mentioned.

Although, it should be noted that this release is only for PS4 users.

Once again, Xbox One and PC owners will have to wait a whole month before they're able to get their hands on the game, with a current release date pencilled in for July 20.

Last year Activision came under quite a bit of fire for restricting the sale of Modern Warfare Remastered to copies of Infinite Warfare, which many fans saw as a weaker game altogether.

Whether this potential new release does anything to appease fans will remain to be seen, but so far it doesn't seem to have put anyone off buying Call of Duty WW2, which will release later this year on November 3 across PS4, Xbox One and PC.

We haven't mentioned Nintendo Switch in that list, but that doesn't mean Activision aren't planning something sneaky to showcase at E3.

Meanwhile, Call of Duty WW2 bosses last week sat down for a new interview with Geoff Keighley on behalf of Gamestop TV and during the chat it was revealed that developers Sledgehammer Games are set to try something no other video game has managed.

While discussing the game, Sledgehammer CEO Glen Schofield along with fellow co-founder Michael Condrey confirmed some of the famous WW2 missions fans will be able to experience during the new game.

But although Schofield mentions that the game will include missions which touch upon the Normandy Beach invasion, the Battle of the Bulge and moments of Allied troops in Paris, it was one brief comment that has caught gamers attention.

It's been mentioned that Call of Duty WW2 will feature Operation Cobra, which is the largest aerial bombardment in human history, where approximately 3,000 United States aircraft dropped bombs on the Nazi troops seven weeks after the D-Day invasion.

If the game does indeed include missions connected to Operation Cobra, it would mark the first time (in what feels like a very long list of WW2 video games) that any game has attempted to recreate the famous mission.
